Is there a way to delete all layers from all pages of a multi-page document in a single action? I can only see how to do it one page at a time.
@Ross I have found that if you combine files, it can remove all layers in the new file. The following steps may help save some time.
4. Make sure that merge layers is not checked.
5. Select add open files and ok.
6. Delete the blank page from the new combined file and save it.
The new file will have no layers, and you can use the same blank document over and over for this purpose.
This depends on how the layers were created. If you have combined a file made up of pages that already had layers on them and transferred those layers into the combined file, they will be grayed out on the layers panel when you aren't on the same page/pages they transferred over with.
If, however, you created the layers on an already-multipage document, those layers should already work globally. So, if you delete one layer, it would delete from all pages it was on. Additionally, if you wanted to grab all the pages at once, you should be able to use Shift or CTRL to highlight multiple layers at once and then choose to delete. This would theoretically delete those selected layers from all pages in one swoop (especially if you checked all the boxes from the pop-up that appears when deleting layers.
Ashley, thanks, this is somewhat helpful, but not exactly what I was hoping for.
I get pdf files of multiple sheets from people who printed them out of e.g. Autodesk applications. It's very common in our office, and I also get from external Project consultants. But I'm often the one who has to manage & collate different pdf files, most of them having layers, and before submittals — delete the layers because permitting agencies reviewers don't work with files having layers.
So, rather than trying to coach & educate multiple people contributing to the project about the way they print from their various Autodesk applications, it'd be just easier if I could easily delete all layers from any multipage document, in one stroke.
For instance, here's the layers in one sheet of a 45 sheet set…
And here's the layers in another sheet of the same set..
(there's still more than shown). That's the same person printing — she's printing the same way. It's just evident that that the Autodesk files are "accumulating more "stuff" all the time, and that stuff leads to more layers.
So I think you see from the above my problem is that in a document with say 10 or 50 pages, with layering like this, the layers seem infinite, & being able to delete one specific layer from all sheets at one time, isn't quite working for me. I guess my term "globally" that I used initially might not have been the right terminology.
Again, rather trying to control the way that various people print to pdf's, it'd be easier if I could easily delete all layers in one go.
Thanks
Thanks Glynis D.! Good & easy work around.
Is there a way to add together measurements between multiple pages? Say I markup a ton of items as MTL-2 over many pages; is there a way to add them all together? Like the legend below but for all pages with MTL-2
Just did the update this morning. Everything went well except I no longer have the Revu icon. It is just looks like a piece of paper with the right, top corner bent over. Is this the new icon or did something not load correctly?
I did not see this before but lately yes - when you click File/Email on any open file, the email window opening up will have the file attached but the actual file name will have [1] added to the name looking like ***[1].pdf while the subject line shows the original file name. How can I stop this so the file name does not…
I am needing to make comments/remarks on CAD-based file with a lot of layers and small symbols and when i try to select a group of my comments it grabs these - what appear to be random - cad-based linework that came with the original PDF. They have gray grips and i cannot edit those. I understand that I can turn the…
Previous to recent versions of revu, holding the control key while starting a measurement/markup or anything that would trigger object snap would temporarily disabled it. This is extremely useful when you generally want object snap on but not right at that second, usually because of a dense area where there are so many…
Is there currently an option to enable a new tab opening when clicking on a detail hyperlink? This would be great! Currently I just split the view and then click the link, but this seems more straightforward for new users.
I was tasked with creating custom symbols for my company and I' having some odd issues. After importing the toolboxes, some of the symbols are "missing" in the sense that they don't show up in the toolbox. If I hover over the location where it should be, all the pop-up info still shows. I can select the symbol and place it…
How do i change the icons when i select count measurement checked after completing visual search? it only has the default icons and not option to add from my toolbox.
Before BB Revue was reinstalled on my machine, I used to be able to do a command to super easily change the properties of the fill. Now I have to go into properties, or use the fill color icon on the Appearance toolbar. I have lost that command and don't know how to get it back.
Before BB Revue was reinstalled on my machine, I used to be able to fix text to the text box. I have lost that command and don't know how to get it back.
